The Miniature Railway had a mix of trackside features, with the Butlin's ethos of a make-believe world of holiday fun.

Track Layout  
The windmill
The windmill was close to the pumping station enclosure (wire fence). The car park has a brick wall forming the perimeter for the return track. A crop of giant mushrooms add to the scene.
